Zelenskyy: Ukraine Determines World’s Future

It is reported Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that Ukraine’s war against Russian “insane aggression” determines “the world’s future” and “the security of the entire world” is equivalent to maintaining their independence and territorial integrity. He warned the United Nations Security Council that if Russia’s aggression against Ukraine isn’t ended, other countries will not be immune.

“There are traces of Russian war criminals everywhere and we must all get united and act decisively as soon as possible so there are no more traces of Russian missiles, and no more cities burned by the Russian military — so that there would be no threat of the radiation catastrophe ever, ever again.” Zelenskyy emphasizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and asks its northern neighbor to withdraw from all occupied Ukrainian territories and break down its ambition to capture other countries’ territories. Meanwhile, the president also called on the U.N. General Assembly to hold Russia accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, for which Moscow war criminals must pay the price.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called Putin’s six-month invasion “a sad and tragic milestone”, with no end in sight. He also warned that the crisis of food, fertilizer and energy has triggered extreme poverty for millions of people.
